Things have slowed to a crawl here on the Culbert Family History blog. I'm spending a lot of time on family history research so until I have another post ready for you, here's a diversion I call "Slow News Day." This brief news item describes a week in Lucan, Ontario in 1874 ...
Source: Exeter Times, 24 September 1874, page 2.
In 1874, our ancestors, John Culbert and Mary Ward who farmed on The Coursey Line near the village of Lucan were still alive, and would have been in their 60s. Their eldest child, Eliza (Culbert) Dagg was in her 40s and married. Their youngest child, Mary Ann was 18, still living at home, and single; not having eloped as one might fear, based on this news item.
